About this study

Official title: Randomized Study of Endovascular Versus Epicardial Lead Placement for Resynchronization Therapy

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the use of robotically -assisted device leads as a primary strategy for heart resynchronization.This trials aims to compare transvenous lead placement with robotic lead placement for cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Read the detailed description

A secondary goal is to explore the link between efficacy of CRT and inotropic contractile reserve as measured by dobutamine stress echocardiography.

Being tested
Primary epicardial placement of left ventricular lead, Transvenous placement of left ventricular lead
Keywords

Heart Failure

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Primary epicardial placement of left ventricular leadProcedure or surgery

    Also called cardiac resynchronization therapy

    Epicardial leads will be placed on the left ventricle in the area of the most dyssynchrony . the leads will be attached to a Medtronic Cardiac resynchronization/ AICD/ device

  • Transvenous placement of left ventricular leadProcedure or surgery

    Also called Cardiac resynchronization Therapy, CRT/ AICD

    Conventional placement of left ventricular leads performed in the electrophysiology department.

Study groups in NCT01302470
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Robotic placement of CS leadActive comparatorCS leads placed epicardially in the area of increased dyssynchrony as demonstrated by low dose dobutamine stress testing.
Receives: Procedure: Primary epicardial placement of left ventricular lead
Transvenous placement of CS leadActive comparatorCS lead will be placed transvenously
Receives: Procedure: Transvenous placement of left ventricular lead

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. CHF Hospitalizations & mortality

    Heart failure and mortality will be assesd along with six minute hall walk tests

    Measured: one year post implant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Primary epicardial placement of left ventricular lead and Transvenous placement of left ventricular lead in people with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy and Heart Failure, run by St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CHF Hospitalizations & mortality (time frame: one year post implant.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2015.
